NOTD - News for June 11, 2011

News of the Day

Movie News

  • Bryan Singer says the next X-Men movie will likely tackle the Civil Rights movement or Vietnam. I enjoyed the interaction of the X-Men origin with history in X-Men: First Class, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with it.
  • Another toy based movie may be making its way into theaters.  Robert Zemeckis is in talks to direct Major Matt Mason, a toy astronaut from the 1960s.  The film was co-written by Tom Hanks and will likely star him.
TV News
  • Okay - not really TV news but Rep. Anthony Weiner is taking a leave of absence to have his head examined...okay, juvenile boy humor out of the way now.
  • Did you catch Real Time this week?  Bill Maher and Jane Lynch gave dramatic readings of Wiener's tweets to one of his many female followers.
  • Jennifer Love Hewitt is evidently out as a possible sub for Mariska Hargitay.   Ice-T, however, has re-signed for two more seasons.
  • A (very) brief clip of the not-picked-up pilot for David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman.  Here's hoping someone leaks the entire pilot to the Internet sometime soon.  I was really looking forward to this one despite the odd costume.

  • Here's this week's television premieres!
